I wonder if this is not just a publicity stunt of some sort. If you read the Comic Con schedule for Saturday, the Futurama panel has a curious theme. Given that the previous relaunch began at SDCC, maybe this one will also.

It sounds like an intentional hoax to me. Yes, they hired a casting director when they announced the return, but unless 20th Century Fox has taken control of the show away from Groening and Cohen, there's no way this show would ever recast their main characters like that. My guess is they're going to take clips of sound-alikes and use it as a promotions tool, showing why only the original is good enough.

That said, if any of those actors are recast, I'm not inclined to watch any project by Groening or Cohen in the future if they are involved in that. It would be a level of disrespect too high to comprehend.

I highly doubt Fox would pay for a SDCC panel and transport for all their main cast just to give everybody the finger.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

Thanks for wrecking the Comic-Con panel, ya Fox jerks! Man was that a downer, they couldn't talk about it and they had to replace them with writers who weren't allowed to say all that much about the show. But at least it's done now, just in time to be too late.
